https://www.turkiyetavla.com/ttb-tournament-rules
Payments will be made only in Cash (Euro and Dollar).
Smoking is prohibited in the tournament hall.
Precision dice, a Clock, a Dice Cup, or a Dice Tower are required. Players may not change dice during the match. Players who start with a Dice Cup cannot use a Dice Tower. Once a match begins, players must finish the match with the equipment they used.
Timeouts are prohibited during the match unless absolutely necessary. This timeout is limited to a maximum of five minutes. A player's clock will be started after the five-minute period has elapsed without informing the organizing committee.
New round information is sent to all players via SMS and displayed on the tournament hall screen. A timer is started 5 minutes after the specified start time.
Among the players eliminated in the same round, the player who has received a BYE in the previous rounds will automatically be ranked one level lower.
The winner of the match must report the match results to the organizing committee along with the match time. The player whose name is listed first before the match will receive the match time, move to their table number, and wait for their opponent.
The BYE eligibility is determined by the software's automatic draw from the players with the fewest remaining eligibility in the tournament. Once all remaining players are eligible for the prize, the BYE eligibility is manually determined by all eligible players and entered into the system.
The tournament committee may share any images or videos related to the tournament on social media. Players who do not agree to this must not participate.
The tournament committee reserves the right to make changes to the pre-determined round times. This will be communicated to all players via SMS and on screens in the tournament hall.
In the event of any objection, the decision of the pre-determined five-person Referee Committee will be taken into consideration, and a vote will be taken. The player cannot object to the result.
